What I learned in the cafeteria this week
This week in the cafeteria I learned ALOT.
~Kids will say the darndest things. This week I heard one 2nd grader say to another 2nd grader "Hello my brother from another mother." An aide was also asked by one kindergartner if she would move another kindergartner to a different table because "he has willy smelly bref."
~I don't care what the naked chef says freeze dried mashed potatoes rock. At school we get these tiny little kernels of mashed potatoes in a bag. You add water and in minutes you have mashed potatoes. These aren't the flakes...these are magic mashed potato balls.
~It's my stem. This was a phrase I said over and over on the day I decided to wear a jack-o-lantern shirt and a "stem" on my head.
~Drop a tray day. This week seemed like it was drop a tray day everyday. I think we are going to have to start adding at least an extra five into the daily count to make up for the "Oh nos" and the "Ought ohs..."
~Kids know how to cheer you up. Even on days when you think everyone around you SUCKS. Little kids (and co-workers who care) can really cheer you up.
What did you learn this week?

It's my stem...hahahah you know how to cheer us up my friend ;)
hugs
I've always said, we teach our children, but it looks like they may teach us a thing or two as well...lol
I agree completely about kids cheering you up. There's nothing like working at an elementary school, right?
I'd just die laughing if I heard that "brother from another mother." Glad the kids could cheer you up!
It's great that the kids know how to keep you smiling :) It's a tough job, but you give so much to those lucky kids.
I love "it's my stem."
